1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) models demonstrate remarkable capabilities in healthcare applications, yet their performance compared to medical trainees in psychiatric education remains unexplored. This study evaluated the comparative performance of large language models (LLMs) against first-year psychiatry residents in standardized assessments at a premier Indian medical educational institute. Methods: For this study, the already-scored answer sheets for Theory Papers I and II, as well as unmanned, non-interactive Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) with image-based tasks, from all 25 first-year psychiatry residents (March 2024 exam) were obtained from the examination section of the institute. The same question papers were then uploaded into three AI models (ChatGPT Results: AI models outperformed residents in theoretical assessments. In Paper I (theory), AI models achieved mean scores (standard deviation) of Claude Sonnet 67.88 (10.63), ChatGPT Conclusions: While AI demonstrated superior theoretical knowledge, equivalent or variable practical skills performance reveals fundamental limitations in clinical reasoning and contextual understanding. These findings necessitate reconceptualizing psychiatric education to emphasize uniquely human competencies while leveraging AI's capabilities for knowledge synthesis.
